synaptic unable to install - broken dependency samba-common

Asked by ndbrown

Binary package hint: samba-common

When trying to install samba-common by the package manager, I get
'E: /var/cache/apt/archives/samba-common_3.0.28a-1ubuntu4.4_i386.deb: corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive'

I can't add any more packages through the package manager until I fix the broken dependency caused by this.

I installed Hardy Heron 8.04, alt version, and have attached my sources.list (I don't know if this will help or not).

Hi !

delete all the cached packages

sudo apt-get clean

and then fix the situation with

sudo apt-get install -f

The apt-get clean followed by install cleared up the dependencies. It looks like a cached package was used.

thanks for your help!
